Disclaimer: I don't own Tenchi are the girls. I own Yukia but I don't want her, so feel free to take her off my hands.
Its Always Been You
It was now lunchtime for Tenchi. He was seated with Amagasaki and few other guys. Yukia attempted to get Tenchi to sit with her, but he brushed her off with a simple 'No thanks' and walked away.
"Man I can't believe you blew off Yukia like that." One of his friends exclaimed
"Yeah man. How can you just ignore one of the hottest girls at school?" another asked
"I told you guys," Tenchi began, "I already have a girlfriend and I love her very much."
"Man she must really be hot for you to turn down Yukia."
"Yukia doesn't even begin to compare, but that's not the only reason I love her. She has a great personality too." Tenchi explained
"Yeah, but the body helps, huh." Amagasaki said elbowing Tenchi.
Tenchi just smiled and went back to eating his food. Lunch ended and everyone headed off to his or her next class. Tenchi entered his classroom and looked around for and empty seat. There were two left. One happened to be next to Yukia, and he had no friends to switch with him. The other was the teacher's desk, which he was very tempted to take. Resigning himself to his fate, Tenchi sighed and went take his seat.
"Hey there, Tenchi." Yukia sang
Tenchi nodded.
"Looks like I finally got you all to myself." She spoke
Resisting the urge to call upon the light-hawk wings, Tenchi nodded again. Yukia smiled in what she thought was victory, and then turned to the teacher who finally arrived and had begun class.
Sometime later, class was winding down when the teacher called everyone's attention.
"Okay everyone, I got a group project for you," he was met by groans, "Now your partners well be the person sitting to your, um, left for these rows, and right for the other rows."
Tenchi acquired a look of horror. He slowly looked over to his left and there was Yukia smiling broadly at him. Tenchi dropped his head in defeat and cursed his fate again.
"Projects will be due in three days so you'd better get started." The teacher said as he handed out papers with instructions. Just then the bell rang and the students scattered.
Tenchi was standing beside the gate awaiting Kiyone's arrival. He was contemplating his new predicament. How was he going to explain why Yukia was coming over to his home, and working closely with him on a school project. If that wasn't bad enough, he had to go to her house the next day to finish it.
"I can't seem to win no matter what happens." Tenchi thought in defeat.
Although the project was simple, they were to make timeline showing the progression of Japanese Literature, accomplishing it and keeping Kiyone from killing either Yukia or himself or both.
"This is so not fair. I finally choose a girl and now the gods throw something new at me." Tenchi sighed again; he seemed to be doing that a lot today. Just then he heard a car horn and looked up to Kiyone smiling and waving at him. Suddenly his problems seemed less important, as he approached her car with a big smile on his face.
"Hey there handsome." Kiyone greeted him once sat down
"Who me?" Tenchi asked jokingly pointing at his face
"No that guy over there." Kiyone spoke with sarcasm, which Tenchi didn't pick up
"What guy, where?" Tenchi asked in all seriousness, turning around to glare at said guy
"No you silly. I was talking about you." Kiyone giggled. She reached over and grasped Tenchi's hand
Tenchi blushed sheepishly and squeezed her hand. Kiyone laughed one more time then drove off back towards there home. Tenchi spent the entire ride coming up with ways to explain Yukia's certain arrival at their house.
The sun was now gone from the sky. Tenchi was sitting outside reviewing afternoon's events. All in all things weren't quite as bad as he thought they could have been. The one good about it was that Yukia couldn't pull any moves on him at all since all the girls, including Kiyone, were in the living room watching her every move under the guise of helping Tenchi with his homework. To say Yukia was nervous was an understatement. She was practically sweating from the girl's intense glares. No only that, but Ryo-ohki was on Tenchi's shoulder and would growl if she got to close. Tenchi suddenly chuckled at the memory of Yukia's entrance.
Flashback Knock, Knock, KnockRyoko glide over to the door to see who was there. When she opened it a strange girl was standing there.
"Who are you?" Ryoko asked rudely
"Hi I'm Yukia. I'm here to see Tenchi." She responded
"What exactly do you want with Tenchi?" Ryoko snapped now on the defensive
"Well we have a homework assignment to work on together." Yukia answered wondering who this weird girl could be
Just then Kiyone passed by, and Yukia recognized her immediately. When she gasped in surprise, Kiyone turned and saw her. She threw her a hard stare.
"What are you doing here?" The shrieked in unison
Ryoko raised an eyebrow, "Oh this should be fun." She whispered to herself
"I live here. What's your excuse?" Kiyone said first taking a threatening step forward
"I'm here to do a; WAIT a minute, you live here. As in with Tenchi here." Yukia yelped
The exchange drew the attention of the rest of the household, including Tenchi who hid at the top of the stairs once he saw who was there. As Setsuko, Sasami, and Ayeka emerged from the kitchen, Mihoshi and Washu came out of Washu's lab. Yukia looked around at all the women now present.
"W-what's going on here? Who are all of you?" She demanded
"They are my family," Tenchi answered as he descended the stairs
"That's Ryoko next to you." Ryoko snorted
"Over there is Mihoshi and Washu." They both nodded and said hello
"Ayeka and her little sister Sasami are there," he pointed out next, "And that' s my soon-to-be step mother, Setsuko."
"Hello." Ayeka and Sasami greeted simultaneously
"Hello there dear," Setsuko said kindly
"Of course you all ready know my girlfriend, Kiyone." Tenchi walked over to said girl and put his arm around her
Yukia looked slightly flustered, but responded as politely as possible.
End Flashback"What are you doing out here by yourself." A soft voice broke him out of his thoughts
"Just thinking over the days events." Tenchi answered as Kiyone sat down next to him
"Humph. I have half a mind to put and arrest warrant out on that girl and then take her in myself." Kiyone threatened
"Haha, you would really do that just to get rid of a girl who's after your boyfriend." Tenchi stated more than asked
"Of course," she verbalized, "A rival wants you, and since your mine, I'll do everything in my power to keep you."
"No need to worry about losing me to someone else. I'm in love with you and only you. But I'll make you a deal." Tenchi said
"And what would that be?"
"You get to arrest any girl who flirts with me as long as I get to beat up any guy who tries putting the moves on you," he proposed
"Hhmm. That sounds good. It's a deal." Kiyone leaned over and sealed their deal with a kiss
"But what I'm I going to do about tomorrow?" Tenchi asked, as they broke apart
"Oh, yeah. I forgot you're supposed to go to her house. Are you sure I can't go with you?" Kiyone pleaded giving Tenchi her best pouting face
"Sorry, but how about I bring Ryo-ohki to protect me." He suggested
"I guess that'll work. Ryo-ohki can keep that girl at a safe distance. I'll just have to talk to her before you leave, make sure she knows to watch out for you." Kiyone said
She then stood up and held her hand out to Tenchi. He took it and rose up as well. Together they went back inside and headed up to Tenchi's room. Kiyone went off to the bathroom while Tenchi awaited her in his room. After a few seconds someone knock at his door and he let him or her in.
"Hey there son." It was Nobuyuki
"Hi dad." Tenchi replied
"Hey Tenchi how about you and Kiyone quite all this sneaking around and we just move her into your room already." His dad voiced to him
"W-what are you saying?" Tenchi blurted out
"Move your girlfriend in here with you. She sneaks in here to sleep with you as it is. Why not just have her move in permanently?" Nobuyuki spoke
"Well if she wants to, I'll ask her."
"Oh you know she'll say yes." Nobuyuki joked
"Alright, alright. Now move out the way so she can come in."
"What, oh"
"Hi Mr. Masaki. And that sounds like a great idea. I'll start moving in tomorrow." Kiyone said as she moved past him and joined Tenchi on his bed.
"HAHA, that's great. Well goodnight you two." With that Nobuyuki turned around and headed to his own room and object of affection
"What a great idea your father had huh?" Kiyone said as she leaned back against Tenchi's chest.
"Um are you sure about this?" he retorted
"About sharing your room, of course I am. I hope someday we'll a whole house all to ourselves." She told Tenchi as he stroked her hair
"Yeah, just you and me." Tenchi had a far off look on his face
"And our children." Kiyone looked at him for a reaction
It took a few seconds, but when the statement sunk in Tenchi jumped in shock, "C-C-C-, WHat?"
"Well Tenchi when we get married and have our own home, I want kids." Kiyone informed him
Tenchi calmed down and regained his voice, "Oh, okay sure. After we get married. Yeah kids that would be great."
"How many should we have?" she asked
"As many as you want Kiyone." Tenchi answered honestly
"Twelve."
"Sure, TWELVE." He blurted out
"Just joking. How about three or four." She wrapped her arms around his neck
"Whew, yeah that sounds good," Tenchi sighed in relief, "But if you really want twelve I guess we could go for it."
"No, no," Kiyone shook her head vigorously, "But I do want a big family someday."
"Bigger than the one we got now." Tenchi joked
"Oh you know what I mean. But hey at least our kids will have lots of aunts." Kiyone said
"Yeah to spoil them rotten. We can't let them hang out with Ryoko too much." Tenchi pointed out
"I think Mihoshi should have the minimal amount of contact as possible." Kiyone declared
"We'll worry about that later first let's get some sleep." Tenchi suggested
Kiyone nodded and yawned. Tenchi lied down and she rested next to him with her arm wrapped tightly around him.
"So Washu this little thing will let me see and hear whatever Tenchi's doing?" Kiyone was in Washu's lab early in the morning before Tenchi had even awoken yet
"Of course it will. All you have to do is get Tenchi to swallow it." Washu confirmed and handed Kiyone what appeared to be a small red pill.
"That's great, thank you so much." Kiyone smiled brightly and exited her room to get back to Tenchi
Back in Tenchi's room, Kiyone had just reentered as Tenchi was beginning to stir. She quickly resumed her position as he rolled over to put his arm around her. Suddenly she had an idea, and she popped the pill/camera into her mouth. Kiyone then leaned over and gave Tenchi a passionate kiss. He responded even in his sleep, and when his mouth opened, Kiyone passed the pill to him. Tenchi promptly swallowed the foreign object and cracked his eyes open.
"Did I just swallow somethin?" Tenchi asked still heavy with sleep
"I don't see what. Maybe my tongue." Kiyone offered
Tenchi laughed, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and sat up.
"I suppose I should start getting ready for school. Be back in a few minutes." Tenchi kiss Kiyone once more and left to do what he set out to do
"Well Miss Yukia," Kiyone spat the name as if it were vile tasting, "if you put so much as one hand on my Tenchi, I'll make sure you never see another man again."
